I've been contacted by a company working on a proposal to install a solar energy farm on land at Sheraton. The company will be holding a Q&A session online next Wednesday, 4 November 2020 to gauge public opinion on its proposal.
I've published details below, including contact details and links to next week's online event:
Lightsource bp is working on a proposal for a solar farm at Sheraton Hall Farm, Sheraton, County Durham, TS27 4RD. We will fund the development of a solar farm to be connected into the local electricity network, with an output power capacity of 49.9MW (Megawatts).
We’ve chosen this site after careful consideration, and we’re now undertaking a wide range of environmental assessments to help shape our plans. These include landscape and visual, heritage and archaeology, ecology and ornithology, flood risk and more.
An important part of the planning process is engaging with local communities to provide more information on our proposals and gather feedback. Due to the current Covid-19 restrictions in the UK, we are seeking to ensure that our community engagement is undertaken safely. Safety is one of our core values, and in order to keep to the high standards of community engagement that we’ve set as a company we’re replacing our community consultation event with an online Q&A session, on 4th November 2020.
We’ve set up a dedicated webpage for this proposed project at www.lightsourcebp.com/uk/proposed-projects/sheraton-hall, with further project information and opportunities to get in touch with us to discuss the proposal.
Our online Q&A session will take place on 4th November 2020, at 7.30pm, please join the meeting at that time via the project webpage above, or by visiting: https://primetime.bluejeans.com/a2m/live-event/efjbuqpc
For further details, please visit www.lightsourcebp.com/uk/proposed-projects/sheraton-hall or join our online Q&A session on 4th November 2020, at 7.30pm.
WHO ARE WE?
Lightsource bp is a global leader in the development and management of solar energy projects. We work closely with local businesses and communities to supply clean, dependable and competitively priced energy, and we’re dedicated to securing a low-carbon future, in the UK and worldwide.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
It’s important to us that the local community are fully informed of the plans for the site, and have the opportunity to comment and learn about the proposal. We will be holding an online Q&A event to provide details about our project ideas at this stage, and to give you a chance to speak to our team.

We want to ensure that our engagement is inclusive and are aware that not everyone within the community will have access to the internet. Therefore, if you would like to receive a call back from the team to discuss the project or know of someone who would, we would be pleased to arrange this at a convenient time.
